{"product_id":"ariel-bursting-berries-fruit-tea","title":"ARIEL Bursting Berries","description":"\u003cp\u003eA caffeine-free fruit infusion built on a dried apple base, with elderberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, and red and black currants carrying the berry character. Hibiscus and beetroot give the cup its deep red colour and a natural tart-sweet balance – a strong visual differentiator on a menu next to typical pale herbal tisanes. Available in 24- and 60-count compostable pyramid tea bags for service simplicity, in 95 g loose leaf tins for shelf programs, and in 1 kg loose leaf bulk for foodservice operations running by the cup. Serves equally well hot for cooler-weather menus or chilled over ice for summer service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cup pours a clear deep red with a bright berry aroma at the front. The flavour is fruit-forward and naturally tart – elderberry and blackberry leading, with red and black currants adding depth and raspberry contributing a brighter top note. Hibiscus carries the tartness; beetroot rounds the cup with a soft natural sweetness that balances the acidity. Vanilla bean adds a quiet warmth at the finish. Long, clean aftertaste with a real fruit character rather than a candy-sweet profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBlend\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is dried apple pieces, which provide the body and natural sweetness that anchor a multi-fruit blend. The berry character comes from elderberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, and red and black currants – six berries in the recipe, each contributing distinct fruit notes rather than a single dominant flavour. Hibiscus and beetroot are the colour drivers: hibiscus gives the deep red and adds tartness, beetroot adds natural sweetness and a slightly earthy depth. Blackberry leaves and vanilla bean round out the recipe. Built for wholesale menus that want a caffeine-free fruit position with clear visual identity in the cup, recognisable across both hot and iced preparations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrewing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteep 2.5 g per 250 ml at 94 °C for 5 minutes. Fruit infusions tolerate a longer steep without turning bitter, which is operationally useful in service environments where timing isn't tightly controlled. Holds its character on a second steep for an iced tea preparation. At commercial scale, a 1 kg bag yields approximately 400 portions at 2.5 g per cup. Each 250 ml serving contains 5 calories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e: Apple bits, elderberries, beetroot bits, hibiscus, blackberries, black currants, raspberries, strawberries, blackberry leaves, red currants, vanilla bean bits, natural flavours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24 bags (60 g), 60 bags, 95 g loose leaf tin, 1 kg loose leaf bulk bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: Kosher, Aliments Préparés au Québec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoundation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Humaniterra Foundation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fruit tea, flavoured, caffeine-free, loose leaf, compostable teabags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Terra Café et Thé Ltée","offers":[{"title":"24 bags","offer_id":43358990303283,"sku":"TARIA03TIML10PS24","price":9.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60 bags","offer_id":43358990336051,"sku":"TARIA03TIML10S060","price":19.9,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"95 g loose leaf","offer_id":43358990368819,"sku":"TARIA03TIML10PF01","price":8.4,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg loose leaf","offer_id":43358990401587,"sku":"TARIA03TIML10F001","price":87.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg loose leaf (volume price)","offer_id":44128329334835,"sku":"TARIA03TIML10V001","price":82.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/2363\/3971\/files\/Tisane_Eclat_de_Baies_24_sachets_066166500280.jpg?v=1768492519","url":"https:\/\/wholesale.cafeterra.ca\/products\/ariel-bursting-berries-fruit-tea","provider":"Terra Coffee \u0026 Tea Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
